Bolton's AI Explorer
Jargon-free AI consultancy and training for SMEs, start-ups, and VCSE organisations across Bolton and the North West. No hype. No fluff. Just results.
About
I'm Simon Jones — founder of Be Reet Design, Bolton-born and Lancashire-bred. I've spent years helping organisations make sense of digital, and right now that means one thing: AI.
Not the sci-fi version. Not the "robots taking over" version. The practical, day-to-day version that saves you time, sharpens your thinking, and actually fits around how you already work.
I work with SMEs, start-ups, and VCSE organisations across Greater Manchester and the North West — affordable, honest, and always jargon-free. That's what Be Reet means. It'll be alright.
Services
Whether you're just getting started with AI or ready to go deeper, I'll meet you where you are — and help you move forward at a pace that works for your organisation.
Half-day and full-day workshops for teams and individuals. Hands-on, practical, and built around your sector. From AI basics to governance, there's a session for every starting point.
Not sure where AI fits in your organisation? I'll help you figure it out — without the jargon or the inflated day rates. Honest guidance on tools, strategy, and what's actually worth your time.
A structured five-stage programme — Discover, Build, Connect, Activate, Results — to embed AI across your organisation. Bespoke to your team, your tools, and your budget.
AI Policy templates, Acceptable Use frameworks, and governance reviews. Practical documents your team will actually use — not box-ticking exercises that gather dust.
AI-powered content strategy and social media management for organisations that want to show up properly online. Including AI-assisted workflows that save hours every week.
Brand identity, print, digital assets, and presentations — all built to the same standard as everything else I do. Sharp, purposeful, and on-brand.
Be Responsible
Most organisations are already using AI. Few of them have a plan for it. Be Responsible is a practical half-day workshop that fixes that — without the legal jargon or the corporate consultant price tag.
It's built around a practical governance framework that gives your team the confidence to use AI safely, consistently, and in a way that protects your organisation.
Delivered in-person or remotely. Suitable for teams of any size. Tailored to your sector — whether you're an SME, a charity, or a social enterprise.
Pricing is confirmed after an initial consultation — so I can make sure the session is right for you.
The Studio
Be Reet is based in the Digital Den, at Recycle-IT! in the Market Place, in the heart of Bolton.
Whether you've got a clear brief or just a vague hunch that AI could help — let's have a proper conversation. No jargon, no hard sell.
